Education:
Prior to attending Jenks, I attended Victory Christian Academy, a small private Christian school in Tulsa.
I spent my elementary and middle school years at Victory, which provided me with a solid foundation of faith, education, and an example of what it means to be a servant leader. I will carry this with me throughout my high school and college years.
I left Victory to pursue my dreams of playing college golf. It was a hard decision to leave my friends and a place that was a second home to me for many years, but I am dedicated to this goal. Jenks has provided me with the team golf experience, and I have developed friendships and bonds with other girls who have similar dreams as mine.
Experience:
In addition to competing on my high school golf team, I compete competitively. I started out with US Kids and qualified to attend three World Championships at Pinehurst. This experience helped me understand the practice required to compete at the highest levels.
In 2019 I began competing in Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour. Through this tour, I was exposed to several high school golfers. The increase in yardage and more challenging courses provided me with the opportunity to stretch and push my skill level. I also travel to Texas to compete in the North Texas PGA Junior Golf Tour, since Oklahoma Golf is inactive from November to February.
In 2021, I competed in my first AJGA qualifier which earned me a spot in the AJGA Gateway First Bank Tulsa Junior. It was an eye-opening experience and again reminds me the time commitment required to compete at the college level.
My dream is to play golf at a college in the future and I will continue to work hard towards that goal!
